History Scorning Contemporary Love

The simple roads within the
heart
ungrateful for the rains
which
thunder down upon dry
ground
Spare no seed to apart
fall
the rocky ways before
eyes
while searching in lover's
disguise
of forests treasured in
darkest
halls belying truthful
light.
Hidden back amongst the
trees
is love damaged by the
past
wherein beauty betrayed
lust's
reproachfully candor
touch.
From moment set along
ways
only seen by those without,
trust
becomes the idol sought
above
all else that hearts may love.
